Intrepid Fabacians, Curry and Sherry Alders (A-H 3000), Terry and Karen Johnston (Triumph TR3A), Bob and Donna Grant (A-H 3000) and John and Shirley Ann Bowles (MGB) drove to Stowe, Vermont last week through fog, cold and then sunshine to attend the 10th annual "British Invasion" event.
And what a stunning show it was with over 650 participants, including 20 concours d'elegance entries and scores of representative makes and models. MG, Triumph, Jaguar, Lotus, TVR, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin, Austin-Healey, Lea Francis, Rover, Land Rover, Morgan, Humber, they were all there in one form or another.
Best of Show in the concours was a 1932 J2 MG was so perfect that the judges could hardly fault it. A popular People's Choice entry was an ex-British Army "Desert Rats" Land Rover complete with mounted machine guns, and an E-type Jaguar painted in red, white and blue.
Dinner at the famous Michael's On The Hill restaurant just outside Stowe was another highlight of the trip. The group of eight was joined by Robbie Hogg who had made the trip (not in his MGB!) in a day instead of two.
Warm, sunny weather throughout the show as well as the drive back to Fredericton meant top down motoring all the way. All agreed this was a show not be missed and FABAC should encourage a serious number of members to attend next year's 20th anniversary event.
Best,
John
